Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How can I enter the earth covering of a bucket foundation up to 10 cm below the top edge of the bucket in RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro?
- Which theoretical approaches are used in RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro for pocket foundations with rough bucket sides to divide the forces and moments and carry out the reinforcement layout?
- How do I activate the earth covering (permanent)? The corresponding check box is deactivated.
- I have activated the settlement calculation in FOUNDATION Pro, but cannot export the determined stiffnesses of nodal supports. Why not?
- Is is correct that the allowable soil pressure has to be entered as the characteristic value in Window 1.1 General Data of FOUNDATION Pro? Will be the design value determined automatically?
- Where in the FOUNDATION Pro add‑on module can I activate the design for limiting a gaping joint according to DIN 1054: 2010‑12 A 6.6.5?
- In compliance with DIN 1054, the allowable contact stress "Sigma_all" has been entered for the soil contact stress analysis. RF‑FOUNDATION Pro requires a "characteristic value" to be entered. How are both approaches of DIN 1054 and EN 1997‑1 compatible?
- Does the program check the lap length of the vertical stirrups of a block foundation with smooth bucket sides?
